5 Things to Do With Kids in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Disclosure: I visited Virginia Beach on a complimentary press trip, but all opinions are my own.

Virginia Beach from My Hotel Room

Although I didn’t bring my kids to Virginia Beach during the media trip I took a few weeks ago, Virginia Beach is definitely a very family-friendly place. I certainly hope that I can take my own children sometime – the flight from Boston is very short and it’s such a wonderful place for families. While you can (and should) combine a Virginia Beach vacation with a trip to Colonial Williamsburg, as I did, there are plenty of things to do with families.

Five things to do with kids in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Spend time on the beach. Of course, you can just spend your entire vacation on the three-mile boardwalk area, swimming, sunning, and shopping. You can also rent bikes and surrey cruisers and ride around. There are also other beaches in the Virginia Beach area, if you are up for some exploring.

The Hilton Inn and Suites Virginia Beach

Enjoy pools and water park fun at your hotel. Many of the hotels on the boardwalk, like the Virginia Beach Holiday Inn and Suites (where I stayed), offer fun pools with water features. Our resort had a standard outdoor pool, a pool with two small water slides (pictured to the left), and a lazy river, along with a kids’ club and a small movie theater. Families can also get family suites, if you’d like to have more room.

Take a day trip to the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Visit Kiptopeke State Park and the Eastern Shore of Virginia Refuge for a quieter, relaxing day. Read my entire post about the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

I would consider doing a “staycation” at the Holiday Inn. I believe they have an indoor lazy river? I truly enjoy living here. We have the best time going to the beaches! Will be a sad day when we have to leave. Jenny I miss you too!!!

I have recently discovered this article through Pinterest. I think these are all great ideas. You can never ever go wrong with the Virginia Aquarium. Love looking at the sharks!
